#wikiplayer tutorial

1. head to my blog and click the hyperlink in my music player on the words wikplayer (or go to https://www.wikplayer.com/)

2. this will take you to wikplayer’s website were you can create the code for your music player! scroll down a little a bit until you can see the white box. the tab above it should be on step 1. go ahead and click on create a new playlist!

3. then choose your skin on step 2. i would use a full player. i originally used one of the less crazy skins on page 2, but if you find and would like to use a custom skin, then click the custom skin option and copy the link for it. if you would like to use the custom skin i use, just ask and i can send it to you! then click next.

4. you should now be on step 3, and this is were you make the actual playlist. set it to manual playlist. put the song title as you would like each song to appear when it comes up on your blog, and then link it. you can do this by linking each to a youtube video (but it will obviously only play the audio) - i would use a lyric video as they usually play the song without out any extra music/sound at the end or start of the video. youtube links can also occasionally pick up ads when played on your blog, so using a lyric video might be better as it is less likely to be monetised or have ads. you can also do what did for the first song in my playlist - uploading a mp3 link. the website advises dropbox, and that’s what i use anyway, so i’m not sure if it works with any other download host websites, but feel free to try this! make sure you add d1= to any mp3 download links. you can also add more songs by clicking on the bottom left button. you can check the songs work by clicking on the play buttons next to them, and i would check all of them before you move on so you don’t have to come back and recreate the code! then click next.

5. step 4! here you can change basically how you playlist runs: autoplay: plays first song when blog web page is open without having to press play on player shuffle playback: shuffles the songs each time a blog’s web page is open default volume: the volume the music is played at when first played show playlist by default: show playlist tab when opening blog marquee text: song title moves depending on length from right to left when playing. if off, whole title is shown, but usually cut off or shrunk. when you finished, and are sure everything on the previous steps is ready to go, then click done!

6. now you have the code for your music player! copy all of it!

7. head to your blog’s customisation page - where you would go to change your theme, add pages, etc. click edit html.

8. find your body tag. you can do this super quickly by clicking the gear in the top left, going to find and replace and typing body in the search for box. it will either look like mine does with an inequality before it: < , or just the word on it’s own with a curly bracket: { . paste the code you copied from 6. and hit update preview and save.
